By A Collection of Hymns

      8-6s.
      1 THE Church in her militant state
      Is weary, and cannot forbear;
      The saints in an agony wait
      To see him again in the air;
      The Spirit invites, in the bride,
      Her heavenly Lord to descend,
      And place her, enthroned at his side,
      In glory that never shall end.

      2 The news of his coming I hear,
      And join in the catholic cry,
      O Jesus, in triumph appear,
      Appear in the clouds of the sky!
      Whom only I languish to love,
      In fulness of majesty come,
      And give me a mansion above,
      And take to my heavenly home.
